Snell Isle maps to a single census tract in St. Petersburg, FL and houses 3,075 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.3/10.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 16%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 90 evictions logged in this tract.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 35% of renter households. At $1,860 a month, rents sit 12% over what the rest of St. Petersburg commands. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 2.8% of renter households.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2015, is well off that peak.
That places it #32 of 42 neighborhoods in St. Petersburg. At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
